Twisp is a small town with a population of fewer than 1,000 people. Henry C. Glover moved to the region in 1897 and created a new town that he called Gloverville after himself. Though the town changed its name to Twisp within a few years, historians are unsure of why the name change occurred. Many believe it relates to the yellowjackets commonly found in the area and the noises they made. Glover stayed with the town and became postmaster when it got a post office. Twisp would later absorb land on different sides of the town to expand its limits.

Around the turn of the 20th century, Twisp became popular with both ranchers and miners. It had a church with regular services and a general store that sold supplies, along with two bars and a bank. Native Americans who lived nearby often came to the town for supplies. Twisp developed a reputation as a place where men could find a cold drink, especially when the city voted to reject prohibition. It would also establish one of the first movie theaters in the region.

In 1924, a fire swept through the city and destroyed some of its original buildings. More than 20 wood downtown buildings disappeared within a few hours. Only a handful of buildings survived, all of which were made of brick. Twisp raised money to construct new buildings and revitalize the downtown. Major changes also occurred in 1972 when the North Cascades Highway opened, which led to more people moving to the city and new businesses opening.

Though Twisp is a small town today, it sits near two rivers. That location makes it popular with fishermen and tourists who love rafting. The Methow Valley Farmers Market is a popular local attraction that brings vendors and farmers in from surrounding areas. You'll find everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to cupcakes and condiments for sale. Not far away is the Confluence Gallery, which showcases artwork from artists in Twisp and nearby towns. There's also the Merc Playhouse, which is one of the town's oldest buildings. It hosts stage shows and productions a few times a year. If you plan a trip during the cooler seasons, stop by Loup Loup Ski Rental Shop. Not only will the shop fit you for the skis and other supplies that you need, but you also have the choice of buying the equipment or renting it and bringing it back on your way through town later.
